Camp Wanna Tat April 2025

I have heard of Camp Wanna Tat for years, but due to working full time, I never had the opportunity to even think about going. It is currently held at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp close to Kalispell, Montana, which is a long way north for me. This year I got to go!

My wonderful husband thought a trip to Montana would be fun. I asked my sister, Elaine, if she would like to go, and she said yes. So we packed the car and took off for a two-week vacation that included Camp Wanna Tat.

We had a marvelous time at Camp! The facility was wonderful, and the company was amazing. It had an easy-going atmosphere where learning and sharing tatting was entertaining and educational.

The views from the camp are spectacular!

We had the camp almost all to ourselves for a while. The other camp visitors for the first couple of days were pretty quiet and kept to themselves.

All of the attendees of CWT had the same class at the same time, all in one room. There were four classes, one each morning and one each afternoon. I loved them! The second class was Mad Zar Jwl’s Mini Pine Cone, taught by Deb Johnson, with permission of the author. It is challenging, but fun.

I actually finished my pine cone during the class. On the way back to my cabin I picked up a real pine cone of similar size to compare.

This is the only project I finished while in class. I’m looking forward to finishing the other three.

We had a fantastic vacation. I’m sure I’ll share a few pictures later on.

I’m in the process of making a few changes to the blog. When I started the Word Press blog I was working, and didn’t have a problem paying for it. Now that I’m retired, I don’t have that disposable income, and the blog does not bring in any money. I have to do something different. Time will tell what that may be. I’ll keep you posted.
